Full description and what we offer

Close Quarter Combat, LLC fills a critical gap in Mississippi firearms training. When the state mandated Enhanced Carry Permit courses but didn't establish clear training standards, Close Quarter Combat partnered with Brothers N Arms to create a comprehensive curriculum that exceeds baseline requirements.

The Mississippi Enhanced Carry Permit lets you carry concealed in locations off-limits to standard permit holders—courthouses, government buildings, certain establishments with alcohol service, and more. To qualify, state law requires completion of an "Enhanced Carry Permit Course" from a DPS Certified Instructor.

Close Quarter Combat delivers this training in 8+ hours, split into:

  • •Classroom segment: Safe handling, marksmanship fundamentals, defensive shooting concepts, Mississippi concealed carry law, and use of defensive force
  • •Range segment: Live-fire drills from various distances with a scored qualification course

You leave with increased confidence in your handgun handling skills and a DPS-approved certificate.

Instructor Joseph Green teaches using cutting-edge technology in a supportive, non-intimidating environment. High student ratings across all experience levels.

Scheduling options: - One-day intensive (8+ hours) - Two-day split format - Hybrid: Online classroom (video lessons + reading) + in-person range work

  • •Location: State-of-the-art range on Highway 49, Hattiesburg, MS

Cost & Requirements: - No prior Mississippi Firearms Permit required - No additional fees or paperwork beyond class completion - Bring: Concealed handgun, revolver, or stun gun; ammunition; eye/ear protection

You receive a "Certified Firearms Training Program" certificate. Take it to any highway patrol location handling firearms permits:

  • •Current permit holders receive an updated permit with "Instructor Certified" status
  • •New applicants complete the standard permit application with "Instructor Certified" noted

The Enhanced endorsement doesn't expire, but the permit requires renewal every five years. Staff assists with locating your nearest highway patrol office and provides operating hours.

The Bottom Line: After this class, you can legally carry in Mississippi locations where standard permit holders cannot—police stations, courtrooms (except during sessions), portions of establishments serving alcohol, and most government buildings.
